THE BARD AND HANOVER.
ROTH aALLoP IN EASY WINNERS.

Can Hanover beat The Bard = That's the question
srfmen are asking now Both showed great form AZ
Brooklyn yesterday, The Bard surprising even MS oes

fdleness rather than bring them out only 70 DC
AWAY by that turf hurricane on FOUR iees inc son Vi
Ionefellow and Bradamane. Theirs was wise decison
for The Bard showed speed and power that neither
Favor nor Richmond would have had the slightest
sembIapoe OF O chance with him. He has gained
enornousy in dash and velocity since June OF last year.
and no horse Of less quality than Hanover and fremont
can keep pace with him for mile, taking yester

and longer distances This year he is terrihc mer'
although there the least reason to suppose na ne
has lost bit his staying power He ran his nrst mile
Yesterday in 1414 with amazing ease
and left poor Barnum and Tene Doe
stranded and overwhelmed completely as.h they had
been buried by O sand storm in the Great Desert
HAYWARD pulled him to a In the homestretch but
even then he covered the nine furlongs In l:oo on
track somewhat soft and dusty and with heavy WIND
blowing.
In the Brooklyn Derby Hanover nearly pulled Nc
Laughln of the saddle, so eager was he TO run VI
course he left Dunboyne and Bronzomarte Tar pehhd
and could have beaten them by full fuflong but Tor NC
Iaughlns relentless pull II was slow race-2:432-
but Hanover could nave this down many seconds
Mclaughlin had let him go.
The running of The Bard and Hanover set people 70
thinking Neither last year this year has Hanover
met horse that could take him by the head at the fs
Of the flag and run with him stride by stride from the
first jump to the last No horse has made MIN extend
himself this year. But The Bard has now made IL clear
that he can just this with Hanover aud The Bard mas
stout heart temper OF steel, steadness ana resou
fon that proved much for Dew Drop last year. ana
he can stay all day. Can he then beat Hanover Ihat
IA vet to be decided but when they meet The Bard VIII
have host Of supporters. Hanover has climbing
action that will help him in long, hard race against
such a horse.
The two may meet in the st. Jamess Hotel Stakes at
Brooklyn tomorrow at weight for age distance one mile
and a quarter Hanover to carry 103 pounds and The
Bard us Mclaughlin could not ride Hanover at that
weight and that would be against the Dwyer colt. But
II both come the post 1t will be great race almost
equal In interest to the TroubadourMiss Woodford
match last year.
Mr. was present to see the performance of his
great colt and modesty received the congratulations
that were showered upon him. He will go to Europe In
July to remain abroad for and therefore Will not
zee the pet and pride Of Chesterbrook run In the
Champion Stakes at Monmouth Park He said yesterday
that II he had three really good twoyearods to
take with The Bard he would try his luck on the Engsh
turf as he believed The Bard to be superior to the
English cracks at long distances because the English
now breed entirely for speed and not for staying power
But he had Intention of sending single horse to the
other side Of the Atlantic and The Bard Will therefore
remain here.
most deplorable incident -marred the enjoyment OF
the afternoon and made many people lose their SELF
control Mr. Haggins Ben Ali was great favorite In
the third race His rider Hamilton, acted badly at the
post refusing repeatedly to move up with the others
Finally when all in motion and Ben All only little
behind the Others Mr.. Caldwell dropped the flag The
start did not suit Hamilton, and he pulled up Ben All
and cantered him the course far behind the Others
This was not the starters fault at ALL but wholly the
fault Of the Jockey Hamilton, when questioned, said
that Ben Ali suked and would not go OF with the others
1t is that the colt sometimes suks but the weight
of evidence in this and the verdict OF watchfu
observers that this OF suks on the part OF
the rider and not Of the horse. Hamilton is dogged
obstinate hottempered and sulen His head has been
turned by his rapid progress to the position OF head
jockey great Haggin stable He should have been
ruled of the track for his misconduct but the Judges
we're too amlable and easygong to punish him at all
This grave The Jockey had been guilty OF an
outrageous violation of every requirement OF
turf honor, turf decency and turf law He
had made effort TO win the race, ana no
punishment could have been too severe forims onence
Judges who wish 10 the turf ruined as quickly as
POSSIBLE will do well to follow the example Of these
Judges Their mistake grievous and indefensible.
Everything is grst for the boOkmakers' mills By this
bows evliong every dollar bet on Ben Ali. straight
and place. swept into their hoppers 1t was great
stroke for Them but 1t made Ais hackers wild with
wrath A troop of them surrounded the judges stand
and demanded that Hamilton be punished Nothing was
done Some shouted that the should be declared
off, Others that the bets should be decided off Either
course was not to be thought Of few yelled Fraud
and declared that people would not come TO the track to
be swindled. Phil" Dwyer. from the steps OF the
stand flushed face and angry accents replied that
they could stay away them and that such people were
not wanted there. Finally man grew so violent and
noisy that Pinkertons officers ordered TO remove
him. He gave his name Miken, but the badge he
was wearing bore the name of Hecker He was pushed
off the grounds by the policemen, followed by protest
ing crowd
Ben Ali will not be popular horse for many day,
while the thought OF Hamilton Will be loathlng 10
hundreds OF race gOers

lot certain booknaker called Dutchy by his friends
is understood TO have interest in Boaz. All the
"Duchy" and Jennings crowd have been following
Boaz with perseverance worthy Of better cause both
at Brooklyn and Jerome Park Finally they wearied OF
